Mont Saint Michel Tour Itinerary

Start the day with a relaxing train ride from Paris Gare Montparnasse to the northern coast of Brittany. Upon arrival in Saint Malo your driver will be waiting to take you on a tour of Brittany's emerald coast and Mont Saint Michel.

First Stop: Saint Malo

The walled city of Saint Malo retains a medieval atmosphere, with cobbled streets and half timbered houses. The dramatic Brittany tides, highest recorded in Europe, (a 30 foot gain in as many minutes!) can be experienced at the sea wall or with a walk along the flats at low tide.

Second Stop: Mont Saint Michel

A medieval monk was visited by a seemingly impossible vision from the archangel Michael. The angel instructed him to build a monastery atop a rock formation along the Brittany/Normandy coastline. Many centuries later, Mont St. Michel, as it now stands, was completed. Mont St. Michel is now the second-most-visited site in France, after the Eiffel Tower.

Final Stop: Dinan

Along the river Rance, just a few miles from St. Malo, is the preserved medieval village of Dinan. Dinan was an important trading town during the Middle Ages. Today it is filled with charming cafes and shops.

You’ll finish the day in Rennes, boarding the TGV for a quick two hour ride to Paris.

Why we love Mont St. Michel - When a medieval monk has a vision to build a monastery on a rock cut off by high tides, and actually gets it built, well, you have to see it. We climbed the 250 steps up and took in an amazing view. That fast-advancing tide is almost like an optical illusion, and I'll never forget almost getting caught in it when we walked the tidal flats further up the coast. - Laura
